Mariska Visser, D.C.
Dr. Mariska graduated from Los Angeles College of Chiropractic in 1997. Prior to studying chiropractic, she studied Physical Therapy in The Netherlands, her native country. During her education at L.A.C.C., she had the pleasure of studying various techniques. These techniques include Cox's flexion/distraction, Gonstead Technique, Activator Methods, Thompson's Drop, NIMMO Trigger Point Therapy, and Webster's Breech Baby Turning Technique. Dr. Mariska furthered her post-graduate studies in Chiropractic Pediatrics and has studied under the International Pediatric Chiropractic Association as well as the International Council on Chiropractic Pediatrics. After graduating, Dr. Mariska practiced in Austin, Texas for two years, where she became a certified childbirth educator (which she is no longer practicing). In November 1999, she moved to Newburyport and purchased a practice in "The Tannery". In 2010, she moved the practice to its current location. She has been lucky to have a great relationship with Dr. Tom McFadden who shares her practice space. Dr. Tom and Dr. Mariska are independent practitioners, but they practice in the same office which allows them to discuss and collaborate together on more difficult cases.
Dr. Mariska specializes in pediatrics and pre- and post-natal care. She has a working relationship with Beverly Hospital's nurse-midwives as well as Anna Jaques Obstetricians and nurse-midwives.
Dr. Mariska has extensive knowledge and experience in the treatment and rehabilitation of soft-tissue disorders. Her background in Physical Therapy and her post-graduate education in soft-tissue remodeling, deep tissue massage, and Graston Technique have made her very skilled in resolving chronic, undiagnosed pain. Her eye for postural imbalances and movement restriction has helped many patients resolve long-standing problems.
Dr. Mariska has a 10 year old son who means the world to her. She often states that having her son taught her more than any school ever could. At home, Dr. Mariska has many animals, including horses. She volunteers at a local horse rescue organization, and is passionate about animal welfare.
